Left Airlie Beach at 10:00, getting used to late starts, as today was a short drive of 155 km to Mackay. A slight detour on the way to Colour Me Crazy (again) in Proserpine, stayed there long enough to make it worthwhile having an early lunch before heading for Mackay. Checked into the Andergrove Caravan Park in North Mackay. We set up our vans, had some afternoon tea and headed off into town. Found the TIC (should know what that is by now) and picked a few things that looked interesting to see/do while here. A tour of the Mackay Marina was next where there is a very impressive display of vessels of all shapes and sizes. After walking around the marina we headed back home via a Woolworths to restock on groceries.
Tea tonight was prawns we had bought from a fisherman selling around the caravan park with some crusty bread and salad washed down with an appropriate fluid.
